Prohibited and restricted goods

Prohibited items

There are some things we cannot ship.

Counterfeit goods

Arms and weapons

Illegal drugs and narcotics

Restricted items

While some goods are restricted by specific regulations, that doesn’t mean we can’t ship them. This depends on the type of goods, the quantity and the destination. Different countries have their own rules on what can and can’t cross the border, so you must inform us if you want to send anything that is classed as a restricted item.

Dangerous goods

We’re talking about more than corrosives and radioactive material. Any substance that could cause someone harm when not handled properly can be classed as dangerous.

High value

Countries often have strict rules regarding the import and export of large amounts of currency and other high value items. It’s important to check whether the goods you’re shipping are compliant with the relevant customs regulations.

Tobacco and alcohol

Most customs authorities have clear regulations relating to the quantities of alcohol and tobacco permitted to enter and leave the country. Please note that some countries such as Saudi Arabia have a complete ban on alcohol.
